HiI have changed my graphics card and set a msiRadeon R9 270X 2GB in my X1000.The run fine under the AmigaOS but afterwards I could not boot linux. I've just been lucky to get into ubuntu 16.04 and here without recognition of the graphics card ..Is there any Kernler I could try with greater chance of success. Most attempts to boot ends with a kernel panic. I've tried Ubuntu 17.04 Debian 8 Fedora and whip without success.Thanks

Hi Musa,

Unfortunately your new graphics card doesn't support hardware 3D acceleration on Linux PPC. You can use Linux without hardware 3D acceleration with the fbdev driver.

Please mount the other Linux partitions from the booted ubuntu MATE 16.04 and replace the radeon video driver with the fbdev driver in the xorg.conf files. (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) Could you please post some error messages?

Thank you Christian. I will try tomorrow to take some photos while the boot run until it stops with a kernel panic. I also have a Radeon 9250 in my X1000. Can I use it to run Linux and if so how do I force Linux to use it.

I tested an ATi Radeon 9250 PCI graphics card in my A1-X1000 in 2014. CFE recognised this PCI card and Linux booted fine. Hardware 3D acceleration worked but very slow. I don't recommend any old Radeon PCI cards for 3D apps on Linux.

I get tired of this cart and sent it back. Put my old cart in again and everything is as before Have to waits with 3d in the workbench until I find something that can handling both Linux and workbench.Any suggestions to cart and where to buy it.
